I am so excited. Going Gone! made the long list for Book Viral's
Millennium Book Award. The finalists will be announced on November 1st. Even if I don't make the final cut, just to get this far in the selection process is so encouraging. What a great start to the weekend.

Check out our own member Sam's (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger) jewelry business on my blog.

Help her spread the word. I ordered and received wonderful and inexpensive gifts for the holidays for my friends and family. (Very timely too!!)

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Thank you very much, Carole!! Thank you for your kind words and for advertising me on your website. And what a great website you have Carole! Thanks again! Hugs

[Carole]

You're welcome, Sam. I love the jewelry!!

[Erica]

Shared, Sam. ;)

Alex, your book isn't available yet over here so I will share in the morning once it has gone live. Wishing you lots of luck and big numbers, or small if we are talking about ratings. :)

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Carole wrote: "You're welcome, Sam. I love the jewelry!!"

Thank you, Carole! That's just the quick and easy stuff to get me going. I've got plans for beaded necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Hugs

Alex wrote: "Thank you. I had a look at your jewellery, you have some very nice things on offer. I may come back to your site for a nice bookmark at some point, right now, though, I think postage would cost more than the bookmark because I'm international. ..."

How kind of you to say, Alex! Actually, I don't expect to sell to anyone outside the United States because of the postage. It was explained to me there are fees and duties for the customer, even in Canada. I did not know that. Thank you! Hugs

The next book in my Underground Fighters series is up for preorder! I'm attempting a $0.99 preorder period to see if that nets me more sales. Hopefully so!

I'd really appreciate if people could help me spread the word if you can! Thank you <3

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Thank you, Aislinn! I want to get back to writing now! Hugs

[Amy]

Well done. I can't imagine what it's like to be read by that many people.

[Amy]

That’s very good. Thanks to people here I’ve not got an average of 4 and above on my two. I’m very grateful for those.

I was hoping to get my 50th today since it's release..."

Congratulations, Alex on your 50th review! Hugs

You'll have one from me this week, Amy. I'm sorry I'm a slow reader. Hugs

Awesome thanks. And you can't be as slow a reader as me. I managed 20 minutes two weeks ago. 10 on Bulwark and 10 on RL's Sunrise Tonight. Screaming ahead with my reading. lol

[Jon]

Have to say this is one of my favourite threads to dip into. A bit of positivity is always appreciated!

My news, which I'm really chuffed about, is that I was selected to join the ranks of Zero Flash magazine and will be contributing illustrations to their online flash fiction magazine.

Here are the first two pieces I was asked to put together for the site: a header/logo for the magazine site (there's a new one each month), and an illustration to accompany the excellent 'His Chair' flash fiction by Janelle Hardacre.





If you fancy a flash from time-to-time (ahem) they run a monthly competition with a £10 cash prize and an illustration of your story.

[Carole]

Congrats!! Nice work!

[Amy]

Excellent work Jon.

Aislinn I retweeted your tweet. Good luck.

Sam, it's probably lucky for me I'm also international because I really like your jewellery.

Alex, you're just doing really well all round.

My news: again, things I'm doing rather than achieving (one day!) I have started my promo campaign for two of my books on Radish.

Oh and I did manage to coerce people into viewing my latest on Radish so it doesn't feel so lonely. Thanks everyone.

Awe, thank you, Amy! Wait until you see the beaded stuff! LOL! Hugs

[R.L.]

Awesome illustrations Jon. Thanks for reading Amy. I’m still making my way to everyone’s slowly but surely. Nice jewelry Sam. Awesome Alex! It motivates me to see these posts. Keep it up guys.

great news, Jon!

[Angel]

Congrats, Alex!

[Aislinn]

I saw that, Amy! Thank you!

[Carole]

Great news!

[Amy]

Excellent news. (I refuse to look at the profit/loss figures for my four books)

[Amy]

I'm getting better at not looking. I know I'm not earning, so everything is in minus figures with the writing business. Thankfully my other business is still in a tiny profit.
